E-2 Visa FAQs — Answered
What is an Entrepreneurial Visa in the U.S.?
Entrepreneurial visas, such as the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa or the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa, are designed for foreign nationals who wish to invest or start businesses in the U.S.
What is the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa?
The E-2 visa allows individuals from treaty countries to enter and work in the U.S. based on an investment they will control. The investment must be substantial and in an active, non-marginal business.
Who is eligible for the E-2 Visa?
To be eligible, the applicant must be from a country that has a treaty of commerce and navigation with the U.S., and they must have made a substantial investment in a U.S. enterprise.
Can an E-2 Visa Lead to Permanent Residency?
The E-2 visa is a non-immigrant visa, so it does not directly lead to permanent residency. However, many E-2 visa holders later transition to another visa category, such as the EB-5, to obtain a green card.
What is the duration of the E-2 Visa?
E-2 visas are generally issued for up to five years, though the length of stay may depend on the country of origin. It can be renewed indefinitely, as long as the business continues to operate and the applicant meets the visa conditions.
Can I bring my family with an Entrepreneurial Visa?
Yes. Both the E-2 and EB-5 visas allow the entrepreneur to bring their spouse and children under 21. The spouse may be eligible for a work permit, and the children can attend school but cannot work.
